Pros & Cons
Pros
The panasonic arc5 is by far the best one i have ever used. This shaver is amazing! Terrific product. The philips norelco 9000 was given to me by my wife.
It shaves much closer without irritating my skin. It plows through a 3 day beard as if it were peach fuzz. Used it today with day long stubble, worked great.
Very smooth glide over my face and gives a very close shave. Shaves extremely close. Somewhat loud not unbearable. When you hold an ice cream cone, your fingers wrap around to the….
Cons
The oversized head makes it less nimble. Stick with braun and save some money and frustration.
The engineering is cumbersome. This is not acceptable when it then causes me to be late to work due to need to recharge.
Highlights
Quality
Electric shave liquid helps the razor glide better without having to wet the face, i highly recommend.
Despite this it’s still a convenient tool and works better than expected.
Sucks as i had recently replaced the blades and foil on my old one.
My rechargeable battery finally cashed in its chips.
Competitiveness
They all provide a shave closeness that is 80-90 similar to a razor.
I will note that oddly i find the foil shavers work best on a dry beard while the norelco worked similarly on both dry and wet skin.
I switched from norelco to panasonic about 10 years ago.
